ESSO PICTORIAL

The refusals book is where you write down if you were unable to serve someone an age-restricted product. In this, you have to give a description of the person, which can be highly amusing. Here we see one co-worker has described a customer as "a fatty white girl" Boy with bag on his head - note the way any physical appearance is just left out, simply the fact he had a bag on his head
"Boy, slim, with a tie and trainers!" Unbelieavble! After reading the refusals book, McCarthy notices an old-fashioned slinky style toy. This could prove to be a good night
Unbelievably, he never possessed one in his childhood. Tonight was the perfect opportunity to make up for lost time Testing to see how it works, he remembers that you have to drop it from height and then it will sort of curve over and land upright
The first test comes from the top of the CCTV monitor Which turns out to be disastrous, as it rolls onto its side after dropping
Next up, from the top of the counter Which again fails to inspire, although the device hitting the A-Z Map stands on the way down wasn't all that helpful either
Disapointed so far, McCarthy gives it one last chance from the top of the tobacco unit But yet again, it lands on its side
Disapointed following his first slinky experiment, McCarthy gives up in the knowledge that he missed nothing in his childhood by not having one of these toys
